Via Political Carnival and Crooks & Liars, we learn that Comcast has announced a new venture with RightNetwork, "an independently-owned media company" whose mission is "to entertain, engage, and enlighten Americans who are looking for content that reflects and reinforces their perspective and worldview. RIGHTNETWORK will consistently impact the political and cultural discussions of Americans" (it is set to launch this summer).

"We are not a partner, we don't have an investment with them and we don't have any plans to distribute the network at this time."

The Comcast link seems to be suggested by a quote from Comcast's Ed Snider that is featured in RightNetwork's pitch, coupled with the fact that RightNetwork calls Comcast "a partner."

"Snider is personally involved with the network," a Comcast spokesperson tells Politico, but that should not suggest that Comcast will carry or invest in RightNetwork. Snider runs Comcast-Spectacor, "the Philadelphia-based sports and entertainment firm, which owns the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League, the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association, Flyers Skate Zone, a series of community skating rinks designed to promote skating and hockey in the Philadelphia region, the Wachovia Center and Wachovia Spectrum and Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, a regional 24-hour sports programming network."

Comcast's official statement: “The blog reports that Comcast is an investor in, or partner of the Right Network are inaccurate. We have no partnership with this venture and have no plans to launch or distribute the network. As we have done with hundreds of other content providers, we have met with the network’s representatives. We do carry a number of independent networks on Comcast representing a wide variety of interests and diverse viewpoints.”

Side note: It wouldn't be a total surprise if Comcast were to distribute such a network -- my colleague Ken Vogel talked to a Comcast exec in December who told him that "he didn’t dismiss out of hand the possibility of launching a right-leaning network to compete with Fox News."

WOW, if they would just create a half dozen msm and a few more cable channels like this America would have a more educated thoughtful and informed electorate. The msm and white house will HOWL about this and try to stop it! You just watch and see.

I'm all in.
Next step, "THE RIGHT MOVIE STUDIO." Let's make movies where America is the good guy, religion isn't mocked, business people aren't the villians, and the military is shown some respect. I'd buy a ticket to see movies like that in a heart-beat.

I am very impressed with the concept of this program. As a 54 year old American, it is great to see the real side of this country being aired. Daily conversations that I am involved in are just like the trailers I have viewed. The majority of this country want America back the way it was and are moving in that direction. This is a venue that will help shape all back to the great place our ancestors created for us.

Grand idea. I particularly look forward to "Running." I watched the sneak peaks, and found them interesting enough to have a positive impression of the candidates. Neither are in my district, but I'll watch to see how they're doing and send $ if they're in a competitive race.

Right Network had representatives at the 'Official" Tea Party Express Rally in Concord, NH so I assume they showed up at all the stops around the country. This looks legitimate to me if Mark Williams endorses them! We need a conservative shakeup in Hollywood!

I can already smell the dust being blown off of the fairness doctrine from years past. The left will lose their collective minds over this....and that will be entertainment enough for me. I love watching the implosion of liberal minds in reaction to things like conservative values gaining traction. It really forces the left to show their true colors, and it's never pretty.

Shelby, I love that idea, and I know there would be a huge demand for decent, uplifting movies!
And for the right-wing network...
WELCOME!!! and all the best to you! You can count on me as a viewer. Can't wait to learn about our future with leaders who actually love the American way!

Fox news? dude... liberals own everything else. By the way, socialism is regressive. societies have been trying that forever and those pyramid schemes NEVER work. Get real, get freedom. Why is freedom so scary to libtards?

To the left a message...Doom.
Acquiescence to your bullying ways no more. Doom to political correctness. Doom to your welfare state totalitarian dreams. Doom to your stupid and naive utopia. Doom to the progressive movement via sunlight, alcoholics, and tea parties. Its time to retake our country for the vision of the founding fathers. Rights from God not the Government, freedom of speech, travel, commerce, and religion.

Did you see the poll where something like 2/3s of the MSM admit they're horribly biased and heading towards ratings annihilation?
Right Network may be the Push Over the Cliff so richly earned by the MSM.

Now that looks like the right choice! Just seeing the trailers of this new channel makes me cry wanting our Old Glory back in America. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! My 20 year old son will love this channel also. Again, thank you to all who are making it possible.

Awesome! I have Charter Communications and will encourage them to pick this up as soon as possible.
Truth to relevance is important to a free press and the msm has lost all credibility and must be replaced. It is about time the views of Americans are heard and not dictated by leftists.

"I'm all in. Next step, "THE RIGHT MOVIE STUDIO." I'd buy a ticket to see movies like that in a heart-beat."
Stop lying, you know you still won't go to the theaters, "An American Carol" was a total flop.

FINALLY!! Oh I am so looking forward to getting some rightminded views. They'd better use Adam Baldwin!! And DEAN CAIN! just suggestions guys. Hot conservative guys who use guns will be a draw for us rightwing ladies.

Hmmm reading the above liberal comments. They dont want people to have another source of news. It doesnt take anything away from the left wing propaganda machine. You kool aiders can still watch MSNBC if you think that is the truth (guffaw!) but why complain about another outlet for information? - oh, thats right, an informed electorate is your enemy! You dont want dialog, you dont want any views thatoppose your own. You people are the real threat to our liberty, not a news show.

All of us that get DTV should call and demand RUNNING. There can't be too much of a good thing. All you libs that call the "Tea Party" Teabaggers are ignorant to the idealology of the movement. You only know what Keith Olbermann and Anderson Cooper say, you are the Kool-aide drinkers, I feel sorry for you.

COMCAST has the right strategy and will dominate with this concept.
Let us hope they sinulcast this new channel on MSNBC and eventually drain that swamp of Olbermann, Mathews & Maddow. ( the most repulsive hosts on cable today.)

Thomas, are you oblivious or simply attempting to repeat a lie?? Every leader's of the left poll numbers are in the tank. Tea parties have gathered MILLIONS across the country. Regardless of what you and your lefty talking heads want to think, Conservatism is alive and prospering in the USA. Republicans are not a philosophy, they are a party. Voters may be upset with Republicans but they have not abandoned the philosophy no more than you would abandon your Marxist views! There is a reason that FoxNews hammers CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, and all the rest... this country is not into liberal BS! This new network has a real chance of becoming a leader!

I will dump Verizon FIOS to get this in my home, no questions asked.
The only way something like this gets off the ground is with your support. If the other networks see there is a buck to be made this will catch on !!

Oh, my, this is something that has been a long time coming. All the anti-Fox people will spit bullets when this network debuts. And I will love every miniute of it. I don't have comcast in my area, but if it means watching it via the web, I'll pickup a spare netbook, hook it to my tv and enjoy. This is going to be a great excuse to watch TV on hot days again!

Frankly, I'm surprised that it took this long. Fox takes half the cable business while the left wing propaganda machine channels kill each other off over the other half. These Hollywood types are not exactly the brightest bulbs when it comes to business.

Just what we need, another echo chamber for idiots that are too stupid and or too lazy to think for themselves. Anytime the goal of something is to "reinforce" a certain perspective and world-view you know it's going to be crap. I really want to see a network devoted to objective discourse not one telling me what I want to hear.

I am very surprised comcast would do this as their "Community Forums" Do not allow posts to be made or comments to be made about the facts on Obama and the Democrats.
They have mod's that oversee what everyone posts and if your nasty about indepenents and republicans you will be left alone....
It's a wait and see...

thomas ... really??? I almost fell out of my chair laughing. FOXNEWS is all by its lonesome with views 180 degrees apart from "the rest" and you're complaining??! LOL And Nick ... if you want to see an agry white person, just watch Countdown on what may be your favorite channel. The close ups of that sniveling, squinty-eyed, jughead alone speak volumes. LOL You crazy libs ... the only good thing is you have to live in the same world as we do and tax hikes, infringements on our freedoms, etc affect you and I equally. You just can't see that yet.

if the liberal yakking made any sense - Fox News would not be so successful. Obviously there is information gained by the many, many Americans who choose - yes choose as this is still a free country - for a while anyway - to watch Fox News.
The current Administration and left leaning radical politicans in Washington DC - are absolutely over a cliff - and sound minded Americans are not following.

Look out lefties ... a serious movement is taking place. You should be worried.
You should have stuck to creeping your "progressivism", but instead you chose to jump in with both feet and now America must take sides. America is rejecting you. This is just the beginning.

I for one want to be told what to think. We need a network telling us what to do and what to think because we're too stupid to do this by ourselves. History proves this to be so. I'm too busy to think anyway. I am not an idoit either.

Isn't Comcast in the process of acquiring NBC? It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. Personally, I welcome this venture. It'll be good to see a non-news cable network broadcast conservative programming. I've always wondered why Fox didn't do this a long time ago.

Praise Jesus....Praise God.....Praise the Lord.....we are now in the final stages of forming the Christian Fundamentalist Nation.....Praise the Lord.....Praise Jesus....Praise the Almighty Jesus Lord and Savior for we will smite the non-believers of the world.....we will send our soldiers to every land and defeat all the Non-Christians and Non-Believers and give them the word of THE TRUE GOD AND SAVIOR.....we will broadcast 24/7 to the world about the TRUTH OF JESUS OUR SAVIOR AND THE ONLY TRUE GOD and show to all through our MEDIA how EVERYONE SHOULD LIVE in our NEW WORLD OF JESUS.....PRAISE THE LORD.....PRAISE JESUS......PRAISE TO THE ONLY TRUE GOD......what's wrong with this picture????????

I'm guessing that all the "giddy" comments are coming from those that found this through Drudge. How can anybody be excited that another network is being created with the sole purpose of reinforcing what you already think is correct? That's not news, it's indoctrination. How hypocritical it is of people to celebrate this. I always thought Politico readers were more enlightened than this.

Love the concept, but the trailer for 'Politics and Poker' comes across as a Right-Wing version of an obnoxious Left-Wing format, that's trying too hard to be funny. Humor has be natural....this appears stilted. Get people like Herman Cain, Thomas Sowell, and Walter Williams who can discuss serious topics in a humorous way.

"Right-Wing" network? When describing conservative philosophy or ideals, the media almost always refers to it as "right wing" Yet, when describing liberal views they never position to it as "left-wing". Why is that? As for the Right Network, it's about time TV provided some equal time for conservative programming to balance the Hollywood subliminal far left messages and late-night talk show anti-conservative rants.

Let's wait and see how this turns out in the long run. Liberals have already proven their willingness to infiltrate and distort the truth.
I'm not talking conspiracy theories, I'm just saying we need to be vigiliant.
Look at the example MTV set. It started with programming designed to draw in the viewers then gradually changed its focus without losing viewers. It was gradual behavioral control.
Think first. Do your own homework. Then draw your conclusion.

Great idea. I have often thought it would be cool (and very funny and successful) to have a program similar to 'Saturday Night Live' that would parody and make fun and humor out of the lunacy of the left (wrong) minded people of the world. Now that 'would' be funny. But don't you know the babys on the left (the wrong) would melt down and cry?! How cool. You know, they don't call us the 'right' for no reason. Let the party begin!

Yay!!! Thank you Kelsey and all! I'm really looking forward to seeing all the shows. These are fantastic ideas! The only downside is that I will have to finally bite the Comcast bullet, but at least there will be something I want to see.

SO glad I dumpted Com-Curse. Most media (TV, books, radio) skews right as it is, so it's not like they're hurting for yet another microphone. So, Lee, you really think righties = a more educated electorate? Sean Hannity claims to be a hardcore follower of Reagan, yet Reagan favored prosecuting terrorists in the criminal courts and nuclear disarmament. Reagan also raised taxes (including taxing unemployment benefits as income) and expanded government. These are all things Hannity is solidly against, yet he seems completely oblivious to Reagan's actual policies and statements. Does that sound "educated" to you?

Very timely. The popularity of Fox News has shown that there is a market for something other than left of center media. We are headed for a European style of socialism which will require more private property (taxes) and will reduce choice and freedom for more Americans. An alternative center right/conservative voice is a welcomed addition. My guess is this will prove to be a popular network.

The RIGHTNETWORK will be a huge success to the chagrin of the leftists in the country,Look at how they dispise FOX news because it dares to show both sides of issues but lap up the blatantly biased reporting from networks that have a have less viewers combined daily than the cartoon network.

The problem isn't about getting the machinery of a network and some "right" looking actors, it is about the core beliefs behind the organization. Given the total loss of credibility by the alphabet soup networks, simply propping up another set of talking heads driven by the MSM propaganda machine is a formula for failure I'm afraid.

Sweet! Can't wait to check out this new network.
SeeBS, BSnbc, and CNN are all dying slow and painful deaths.
Airhead America bombed as well.
The writing is on the wall and has been for some time. No one gives a darn about liebrals and their perverse opinions and/or perspectives.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! It has taken Hollywood a very long time to realize we don't like the one-sided garbage they provide. My family and I are Fox fans for this very reason. Will be nice to have more!

Thomas - why do you think that this is destined to fail? You bring up Fox - Fox is kicking the rear end off of all of your sweet leftist channels. Air America is a wonder, isn't it? LOL. Sit back, relax and enjoy some analytical thought - it may be the only time you have seen any - you sure aren't getting it on CNN!

This just in: Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid announced in a joint press conference that they are reviving a bill to impose the so-called Fairness Doctrine. NPR and Air America would be exempt from the new law.

Someone who agrees with you - makes you feel good
Someone who disagrees makes you wiser.
I think this is Fox's paradigm. It is simple and it works
. You may disagree with some of the left guests and commentators on Fox but you learn and it feels better the just 100 % agreement with your own view.
I wonder about some MSNBC commentators, if at home they have the same rage about going to a movie or restaurant if someone objects to their choice

Talk radio and Fox news demonstrate the peoples demand for conservative content. I hope this new network succeeds and others follow its example. Progressives must be stopped as they have a much different agenda for this country than did our grandparents.

This is great! If the left wing media had problems before they have just accelerated them to a new level.
I appreciate the fact that they say it is a right winged network up front whereas the lamestream media prentend not to be bias.
Yea for the good guys!!

If we had Rightnetwork plus Fox plus 2 or 3 more it might be even. The left owns teachers, college professors, major networks, most publishing and periodocals, even some major religious denominations, and let's not forget - unions.
I can't wait - There is already a welcoming audience. We have had enough bomb throwing, hate spewing, global warming, race baiting, Hate America first Statists telling us how much we suck.
Whatever our problems are we can best solve them in liberty and freedom, not with more government intrusion, taxes and control.

Notice how consistant most liberals are: they can't abide any other opinions than their own. The hate seems to come from the left concerning FOX News and this new venture. I say bring it on Comcast. Maybe 2 networks will finally get the message out against almost all newspapers, news mags, TV networks. The left has close to a monopoly on media yet they cry foul when a few media outlets show a right bias. And I thought the left bragged at how tolerant and open minded they are. It appears tolerance is only if you agree with them.

Hey, I'm tickled about this...it is much needed and way past time for the right side of life to have a network of our own...I've tired of the same ol' BS long ago, tired of Fox long ago as well.
Paul Weyrich tried that years ago with NET, which we loved, problem was $$$.

Intriguing. I just hope there will be a variety of programming. Us conservatives are tired of liberals talking to themselves, sure. But we're also interested in more than just loud political talk (and I couldn't care a rat's sphincter about NASCAR and country music). How about Classical music for conservatives?

"Even though liberal groups have tried to infiltrate the group to portray them as racist and stupid?"
Teabaggers don't need Liberal groups to do that, it is one area where they are the most proficient.

This is one progam I will not miss! Be prepared to hear a lot of negativity about it tho, because everyone on the "other side" will be flipping out! That will make it all the more reason to watch. Great ideas come from great people. This is why the left wing never has much to talk about, and when they do talk , most of what they say is boring.

I am the chairman of a tea party organization. We just had our first event. It was an overwelming success. We had many local speakers, doctors, business men and women, teachers etc. they spoke of there love for their country and the damage that Washington is doing to the american people with the lack of common sense with the spending, the take overs of healthcare and private business, and the kindergarden approach to our foreign policy. The libs can say what they want about us but the fact is our numbers far exceed theirs. We are coming for this country. We will restore it to the wonderful place that it once was. We will teach our children when a bully abuses people it is because he is damaged himself. He is in the minority and when he is finally confronted the bullying stops. Libs get ready because your bullying days are over. Once you get back up off of the ground and need ice for your bloody lip and someones shoulder to cry on find a conservative. They will be the compassionate one who will give aid and comfort. Don't look for help from your fellow libs, they will be running for the hills to find another damaged bully to stand behind.
God Bless America!

Politico-- If you folks were REAL JOURNALISTS, you might enlighten the public as to who is funding this new propaganda machine.
Some say that it might be the same Saudi Prince that funds FOX ?
Others ask if it's the same guy that funded Freedoms Watch to propagandize us into going into Iraq ?
FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BAD !
And why do most of these posts sound like they're written by the same people ? Some say....

Progressives keep calling us "angry white people"... well, yeah. I am white and I am angry. I am angry at the growth of government, the stealing of my money, I don't like rap, I don't like illegals bringing in their push 1 for English crapola.
I don't like ANYTHING that isn't good old fashioned America....and if you don't like that tough.
I am voting in November and making calls and donating time and money.
Remember November.

Well, Politico continues its "left-wing" bias by describing the venture as "right-wing," rather than conservative or, frankly, mainstream American. Then it uses the derogatory radical progressive term "tea baggers." Always glad to tune in to Politico to see the latest spin from lefties slightly to the right of NBC and MsNBC.
How much will it cost George Soros to get Comcast to keep this venture from ever happening?

AWESOME!!! Can't wait! There's a REASON Fox News and the Fox Cable shows are ALWAYS at the top of the ratings......they say what the majority of the people in America think! Can't wait for the RIGHT Network!!!

I think it is great.
What really bothers me is the leftist liberal comments here.
"Angry white people" "Drooling right wing thugs" etc. I really dislike the selective rights that it's OK for the liberals to dominate CNN/MSNBC etc. but they begrudge you the right to free speech or a conservative station...they really do.
This shows the need for more conservative based stations in my opinion. If people do not understand what makes a Representative Republic so great, how can they support it?
How can America stand without these principles of Conservatism? It cannot.

================
How will that jive with their large ownership of the leftist-hate-filled-loony-MSNBC?
================
You're getting warmer...
Now you don't suppose... that perhaps.. Just maybe... This is the same groups of phoney baloney news outlets disguised as an advocate and sympathizer of the MAJORITY of Americans who are dissatisfied with Government intrusion into personal lives?
nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Move along now... Nothing to see here... Just move along...

Wait, so the poker show isn't really about playing poker? You're essentially just watching people chat about politics in an informal setting while holding cards...So weird...I'm fairly certain I could watch this live every tuesday night in my neighbor's basement.

If Haliburton ran an expansive multi-media outlet, overtly supported the Bush administration and their policies, and paid zero taxes for 2009, the left would be up in arms.
Obviously this isn't the case with Haliburton....but not even a peep from the left with regard to GE which stands to make billions off of ObamaCare.
I think the rightnetwork should do very well. After all, conservatives tend to work, which should be a nice demographic for advertisers.

Maybe we will see some libtards commit Hari Kari...Or at least pull out their hair. Woo Hoo, best news I have heard all day! It's time we finally got some more representation to stand up against the (CNN) Commie News Network and (MSNBC) Micro Soft No Black Commentator news propoganda crap.
I wont even fly anymore because I cant stand to go to the airports and see CNN all over the televisions. Hammer the moron libs into the ground Kelsey!!

I don't watch TV because it generally just ****es me off. But I will definitely subscribe to cable again provided they carry this channel! I'm very excited to have TWO channels to watch - Fox News and RightNetwork. "Running" looks awesome, I can't wait!!!

It's interesting that liberals are so filled with self loathing and poor self esteem that they can't stand anyone with a different view. Remember - the entire premise of your government view is for others to work so some don't or won't. Before you start with the disabled and hardship cases let me remind you - NO ONE is stopping you from donating if you would like. We just don't like working months and months as indentured servants to the government so you can feel better that "you" made a difference.

You just can't help yourself calling them Tea Baggers. Are you in 3rd grade? Did you giggle to yourself when you typed that? What about after submitting it? You're so smart and witty, using that word! It takes one to know one, you know. how many times have you been tea bagged, dear Patrick? My guess is you get it on a weekly basis.

FINALLY! Thank God someone is thinking of this. FOX News is too liberal for my tastes. We need an ALL CONSERVATIVE network just like ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc... are all liberal. FOX is a step in the right direction because they at least allow SOME conservative views, but I want to see an all conservative one for a change.
Liberalism is a lost cause. Just compare the ratings of all the other networks in comparison to FOX...

Here's what I can't figure out: This country is pretty much split righty down the middle politically; 50% of the pie is liberal; the remaining 50%, conservative. However, the liberal portion is being eaten up by all 3 networks, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, Newsweek, Time and virtually every newspaper editorial board around the country.
The conservative 50%? Fox News, talk radio; maybe the Wall Street Journal. If Comcast does this it'll be good business sense, period.

Wow, another partisan channel to divide the country even more. This sort of content does nothing but divide us even more, and most of the comments show the utter anti-americanism that is rampant in today's political climate. Comments like "Now people can see the REAL side of the country" as if only these sort of views are what Americans subscribe to (or rather, Americans who do not subscribe to these views are not real Americans).
We are ALL Americans, whether you believe in abortion or not, whether you believe in the right to bear arms or not, and whether you believe in government programs or not. Seems that a large portion of the population has forgotten this.

If Haliburton ran an expansive multi-media outlet, overtly supported the Bush administration and their policies, and paid zero taxes for 2009, the left would be up in arms.

poker and politics... Stupidest trailer I've ever seen. It is a mockery and certainly doesn't represent my conservative values. The 'Right Network' better have something more substantial and poignat than that if they are hoping to represent the conservative right that I know.

It's a great idea, but so was Grammer's movie "An American Carol" which was supposed to be a conservative comedy. I really wanted to like it, but it was just God-awful. This might have a better shot, since it won't have to try quite so hard (it's a tough assignment to deconstruct decades of liberalism in one 2-hour movie.) One idea: let's get Dennis Miller back on TV here.
Good luck, RightNetwork! We'll be watching!

I'm sure this network will do well. After all, conservatives need someone to tell them what to think and how to act. Given the fact that they are incapable of original or intellectual thought, this network is right up their alley. Doubt me? Take a look at the plethora of ignorance above my post.

Once again the righties are caught in a lie. But are they ever caught telling the truth....never.
Comacast is running away from this transparent lie as fast as they can. Especially when 95% of their customers would object to this garbage....

TERRIFIC - something that willl certainly destroy MSNBC and CNN alng with the mainstream - I can't wait to see this in operation. Judging from the trailers it looks like and "everyday for everyone" station of information, that is unless your looking for the Gov' to run your life and "make everything fair" for you, hen you won't like it..

Awesome, About time, Fox and O'Really are getting tiresome-Fair & Balanced just means they hired propaganda spewing spokesmouths from each political side. FOX = NO REAL JOURNALISM-'you decide' based on political propaganda & annoying poll-tested talking points.

Comcast is a business, they can do whatever that turns a profit is good. if you don't like it, don't watch it. Right now you have a choice, in two or three years we will probably subscribed to Venezulan style TV.

Is it a subliminal desire to suck on a man's scrotum that causes so many of the posters here use the term "teabaggers" when they know the Tea Party movement itself does not ascribe to the term? Ummmmm?

poker and politics... Stupidest trailer I've ever seen. It is a mockery and certainly doesn't represent my conservative values. The 'Right Network' better have something more substantial and poignat than that if they are hoping to represent the conservative right that I know.

Your silly efforts to doubt the divinity of Barack Hussein Obama, and the new Aeon that his coronation ushers in will only lead you to pain. Stop your hating, heal yourself and worship the goodness that you see and feel with your own eyes. All Hail to our Savior, his most holy lord BHO!

As a committed leftist, I am perfectly comfortable with you right-wingers adding another catacomb to your echo-chamber. Whatever keeps you guys sedated in front of the tv and out of mainstream America's hair is fine by me.

This interests me greatly! If the world needs anything right now, it is LESS so-called "mainstream media", which sold its' collective soul to the devil (quite literally!) during the most recent presidential campaign, and as a result, lost any and all credibility that it might have still had at the time; and MORE programming that contains a message that there is such a thing as right and wrong, and that we have had quite enough of the foul, profane, vile, detestable, perverse, morally-bankrupt, satanic garbage that they attempt to pass off as "news and entertainment", when in reality it is corrupting the minds of all who view this junk on any kind of regular basis. Especially vulnerable are the YOUNG minds that are easily mislead and influenced by evil broadcasting. I welcome ANY attempt to instill goodness and wholesomeness into the fray that is currently dominated by all that is WRONG with this world. Time for what is RIGHT with the world. Bring it on!! May your viewership be high, your revenue high and your life a LONG one so long as you stay true to your original platform.

It's telling that the buttsniffers at Politico would go scurrying off to report on a "Crooks and Liars" headline referring to "teabaggers".
But in their defense, the term "Crooks and Liars" could quite logically have implied news from this leftist regime in the White House.

About time - with all three major traditional networks far ro the left, a network offering news and entertainment to conservatives i.e. 70% of Americans should have been done 50 years ago. It took an Australian to understand that truly fair and balanced was a way to take over cable - a network broadcasting content specifically designed for conservatives will be a BIG money maker.
And you leftists (Democrats) - what do you care if it goes forward, you still have ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS, MSNBC etc.. So, taking away conservatives - 70% of population, Latinos - 10% of population, African - Americans, another 10%, other groups, say 9.999%, that leaves 0.001% of the population for the Democrat news and entertainment conglomerates. That's what, about 2,041 people? Think of the ratings! Go Right Network!

OMG this would be great. Fortunately, all of the left would help promote this by doing their usual thing. I like the link about 'teabaggers'. If they can refer to us like that why can't we refer to them as Obama's Dicksucker's? I don't think that is any more or less offensive than 'teabaggers'. Really, please, somebody tell me why one is worse than the other. We'll see if this gets flagged.

HAHA, this is hilarious. As a centrist I laugh at you all for your bigotted and thoughtless hick world views. I feel like Jane Goodall reading most of these posts. Seriously - most of the media in this country is very right-wing compared to the USA of even 60 years ago, so those of you harping on about the past might like to take a look at a few history texts. in the 1950's (which was arguably the most genuinely growth intensive period for individual wealth in US history), more than 50% of Federal funds were from corporate taxation, with less than 5% from individuals as income tax. It is now closer to the reverse, largely because of your delightful Mr Reagan - well done...

This new network seems utterly redundant. Since there's Fox, why bother with another network promoting the same Republican talking points and spewing out hate of anyone who's different? It might succeed, though, considering the number of unthinking right-wingers there are out there.

I really like Dr. Evil's comment. It may be gone when discovered but I am really offended by the term "teabagger". I attended the first Tea Party Rally in my area last year and felt great about my actions. I also read the comments on the Cooks and Liars blog about the subject. The left leaning posters are some very hate-filled individuals.

Kind of boring......unfortunately rightwing shows aren't that funny. The guy with the "TV" wife is BIFF from "Back to the Future" and it looks as if he is still playing the part. I predict the demographic for this show will be between 50 and death!!! no joke

Even with the Comcast denial, this story ought to scare the hell out of the lefties in charge at what's left of NBC News (no double pun intended). There is no real news out there except for PBS, Fox and (depending on the show and hour) MSNBC.

Let us pray it really happens. Where will brian williams go? I hope far far away. We can hope can't we? Send him to msnbc or maybe he'll take cutsie katie's job. Then we all should help other companies to buy abc and cbs. Maybe then the drones that watch lauer,meredith and curry can all go to bho kiss his ring and get another job. The administration lies to us everyday so do they.

Please keep calling Tea Party people "tea baggers". We are logical, independent, level headed, supporters of smaller government.....but that moniker still f-ing ****es us off, or at least me. I have never been to a rally, or donated, or even joined, but I think I will now!!!

Your description of tea-baggers made me laugh so hard I think I wet myself. "Level Headed"? "Logical"? Yeah, I saw those examples at last year's town hall meetings and the recent protests. You guys are incapable of rational discussion, but I do so enjoy watching the Repukelican party implode like this.

Cool, this channel should be devoted to convincing Americans that Big Companies' profits are not evil, nor is shipping jobs overseas bad, rather just a fact of life. the government should also not provide any jobs here either. You just have to learn how to invest wisely, be a shareholder in the large companies, and you wil be alright. We should get rid of unemployment, social security, and medicare as well, no more handouts!

I'm loving this idea and I hope it happens. Now it will only be five hundred liberal shows against two conservative shows.Sounds about fair. Fox has been getting a little too balanced on the left side lately. They could use a little competition.

From what we see of Comcast's leanings, this won't likely happen. Yes, the fairness doctrine will be all the rage. There is already a media blitz to cast anyone in dissent as seditionists among other juvenile epithets. Under Bush it was patriotic, under Obama it is uncivilized treason. Any flavor of kool-aid makes you think the grass is greener on one's own side of the fence. Disingenuous journalism is what got us here, and leads the faithful with biased music to the choir. Truth cannot be black and white 100% of the time. Subjective truth has become the norm to rely on, from all 3 branches of the federal and local government that lords over the productive in support of the unproductive. Feel Owned yet?

The major networks are suffering from lack of viewership and are dispised by the majority of the voting population. What I don't understand is why don't one of these stations become more like FOX and report the news more balanced and get rid of their NY/Hollywood left wing bias. If a major network was more balanced and had a conservative slant that represents the majority of middle American, their viewing audience would increase dramatically. The problem is these media people actually think their views are correct and are embedded with these far left democrats and can't comprehend this.

Comcast tells POLITICO that Crooks & Liars' headline -- "Comcast partners with teabaggers to bring new right-wing broadcast network online" -- is misleading. Comcast tells me that it has received RightNetwork's pitch (see the .pdf here) but has not made an official decision to partner up with them.
Well, Crooks & Liar's mission accomplished. What an appropriate name for a left wing propaganda machine too.

I just contacted my TV provider with a request for this programming and signed up for RightNetwork's email list - I hope others do the same! The "Running" show looks to be fantastic. I'd switch TV providers to any company that carried this!

The ONLY reason why this channel will be an inevitability is because the lefties want to desperately cut into Fox News' incredible ratings. Still, I'd certainly like to see if they do it 'right'. We all know it can be done. Now how about a conservative movie studio?!? Let's see more stars with that old school charisma and the return of the classic man (not anti-hero).

Bring it on! Fox and Right Network can engage in conservative purity one ups manship , dominated by a lies and misinformation campaign against each other.They'll eat their own and gain the ridicule,mistrust and contempt of sane Americans,just like their political counterparts in Washington.
I doubt the network will be "entertaining" since a creative mind is an OPEN mind,something sorely lacking on the right.The fact that the GOP can only claim a handful of Hollywood's unemployed has beens speaks volumes about their viability..At least they'll have somewhere to go....

Oh so sad....have you seen the trailers? More Obama-bashing without substance. Even the comedy show is pathetic--can the right-wing be humorous by definition? Getting minority comedians to make fun of their fellow minority members. The right had better come up with something other than hate messages and anti-whatever (gays, woman's rights, government programs). The poker game show trailer is more humorous than the comedy show trailer. Men sitting around and spouting "anti" messages and pretending to be macho. What is this thing that repeats in the trailers about men tickle wrestling? What's that about? Subtle anti-gay message? And who are these network people that think they can define what is right and wrong with the world. I'm so tired of these kinds of messages from left and right from people who think they have all the answers. Get off your high horses, you're just horse rear-ends. Can't America grow beyond this kind of crap?
